Rhymes Of An Hour by Mazzy Star
Written by David Roback and Hope Sandoval
Tabbed by CJWilky
Having listened to the studio and several live versions there are still two lines I'm not certain of:
"While the cold winter waving
While you stone the crow"
Comments and corrections very welcome.

The main riff is picked.
For the intro it is as above, D5 for 4 bars, C for 1 bar. Then the same pattern but D5 x2 C x1, and
back to D5 before the verse begins.
The e string is often muted to varying degrees through the song.

A D5 begins on the "know" of "I think you know" and continues for 2 bars before the G of the break
riff begins.
No Capo
Though if strumming, try the D (instead of D5) and C barred in the "A position" at 5 and 3,
with G at 3 in the "E position". It also sounds good with the D and C barred in the "E position"
at 10 and 8. Strumming DUU nicely approximates the riff especially if you only hit the bass note on the Down.
Intro: D5 C D5 C D5
D5Cannot hear what you're saying
CCould I tell you D5so
And I can't believe my troubles
CAnd I'm going D5home
CLie and D5sleep

CYou D5know C D5
D5While the cold winter waving

CLie and D5sleep
CUnder D5deep
CI think you D5know
